Up another rung??

[Jennyxxx]

Hi all !

Well I'm pleased to say that the scales finally moved !!

I have been on OWL since Jan 30th and I have added the veggie rung and the dairy rung .. my net carbs are now 20/25 (on induction I was only 12/15).

A bad question I imagine but can I skip the nut rung ??.
Mainly because in the past I have extremely severe colon problems with a start of diverticulitis .. and nuts are NOT good .. (the tiniest pieces get stuck urplequ: ).
I have eaten pistaccios in the past .. mainly grated over cooked cream and mascarpone .. but I have a hard job stopping once I start.
Also I should not eat berries because of the tiny pips and seeds .. but I can eat honeydew melon.

Or should I slightly increase what I am eating now ..

Thanks in advance

A BIG CONGRATS TO YOU

you can skip any food rund you want to or need to.



I have done some volunter work with a support group fot IBS and understand your nut problems. Have you checked with your docotr about nut and seed butters? many of them have been able to use those without irritaiton.

Happy OWling to you.

I could get that .. never thought thank you very much!!

Jen,
You should strive towards how you will eat in maintenance. So add the honeydew if you will eat it for life. Otherwise, just skip the rungs.

We do recommend that when you skip a rung, you spend the time you would have spent on that rung before going up to the one above it. Not a requirement, but people have reported better OWL success.

Thanks Elleth

Yes melon is something which is so available here in Italy .. I used to eat it every day from spring to autumn.

I will see how it goes .. but maybe wait a bit before trying.

Have a nice weekend
